Season 3, Episode 17, Aired
EDIT

Episode Summary

Elly is disappointed about losing Dash to Miss Jane, so Jed and Drysdale try to fix everything. And Granny is trying to figure out why Dash is going for the plain Miss Jane instead of her gorgeous granddaughter. Another actor, Biff Steel, is set up for Elly, but once again, sees Miss Jane and figures she is Miss Clampett. Jed starts figuring that the Hollywood actors want to be prettier than their girl, and he decides to "ugly Elly up." The studio sends the remaining young, handsome actors for Elly, and they go to her, with her new look. After seeing the Hollywood actors take to the plain Elly, Granny sees that she now has thrown seventy-five years of matchmaking down the drain.moreless

    I recall this episode very well as one of the few episodes with a reference to Elly's, uh, accoutrements. Granny as her dressed as Mrs. Hathaway to get Dash's attention, and she'smousy and plain and the she takes off the itchy jacket, and... well, something's you just can't hide. The episode also has a nice hindsight to Riprock's past life to when he was a mere Homer Noodleman pumping gas in Peoria. It's a nice touch; Elly later reveals in the series she likes Dash but she would prefer him out of Hollywood to marry her. Personally, I think she was better off with Mark Templeton.moreless
